Hypothetical question here-you find a product that works and although it does not contain any nut oils some other products in this line do contain nut oils. Do you use them and not worry about cross contamination or do you use the product regardless?

My daughter got some lotion for free via American Girl Magazine from Bath & Body Works. She mysteriously began breaking out in a rash. I read the label...it contained macadamia nut oil!

We called the company and they were SO apologetic. They sent my daughter a grooming kit (comb, mirror, etc) plus a gift card (so she could buy something that didn't contain nuts).

I think there should be a nut warning and a soy warning on all cosmetic products. My daughter was 10 years old when this happened and I wasn't thinking about cosmetics having nut oils in them. We're thankful that her only reaction was a mild rash.

So basically it boils down to this: you ALWAYS have to read the ingredients of ANYTHING you put into your body or ON your body.
